Summary

This study tests a virtual reality program for children aged 6-11 with autism who can speak in simple sentences. The program lets children watch themselves perform social behaviors like making eye contact and then practice those behaviors in a virtual world. 75 children will be split into three groups: one gets the VR training, one gets standard therapy, and one gets no extra help. The goal is to see if the VR approach improves social communication skills better than current methods.
